Not because it’s easy or convenient, but because they understand what’s at stake. They’re not waiting for the revolution. They’re building habits, infrastructure, and culture, one decision at a time.<br/>I don’t know what the future looks like. Nobody does.<br/>But I know that giving up isn’t an option, not because of optimism, but because of what’s on the line.<br/>We don’t stop to ask ourselves why we define private property. We just do, because it’s foundational, because without it, everything else collapses. Digital privacy is no different. There are no rights without it. No free thought, no free expression, no meaningful ownership of anything, including yourself.<br/>The people who understand this are fewer than they should be. But they exist. And every day they choose accordingly.<br/>That matters. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. 2026-02-27T08:56:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdzrtry0tl08y0qyk8hfw96qjn7w6jl9sj9l3xchlha60emvjvtmszypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczcgp3k8 Every surveillance system in history was built for a good reason. None of them stopped there. <br/><br/>Today, the EU begins its final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0, and the threat to your privacy isn’t over. Mandatory scanning of encrypted messages? Off the table, but the Council is still pushing for mandatory identity verification to use messaging apps, including end-to-end encrypted ones.<br/><br/>Privacy is not a tool for hiding wrongdoing.<br/>It is a necessary condition for free thought, free expression, and free relationships.<br/>The real question isn’t only whether to monitor private communications. It’s what kind of digital society Europe wants to build.<br/><br/>But Europe is its citizens. This question belongs to us. We can’t keep outsourcing centuries of hard-won civilization. <br/><br/>One “necessary exception” at a time. 2026-02-27T07:42:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszey2ecsmq8a9nnv38k4pmt9028e5kxykdrlhyy0gas09guu4r9ugzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpcztsy5v3 Think privacy and economic incentives are incompatible?

It’s about institutional expansion masquerading as security policy. Europol stands to triple his staff and massively expand his power. An entire EU Centre will be created with ongoing funding.<br/><br/>Once these institutions are built, once the infrastructure exists and the budget is allocated, scaling back becomes politically impossible. We’ve seen this pattern before. The Patriot Act. And the question will be: “what else can we do with it?”<br/><br/>This is how mission creep works: build the infrastructure for one purpose, then discover - conveniently - that it can serve many others. Today’s is CSAM.

So far it hasn’t reached a majority, but the Danish presidency (strongly in favor) could shift the balance and actually force apps to scan every conversation and every photo before encryption, using unreliable AI, while government and military accounts remain exempt. A future that #signal has already said it will never accept, even if it means leaving Europe for good.<br/><br/>Let’s be clear: this is not about protecting children. It’s about creating a mass-surveillance infrastructure that destroys encryption and puts the privacy of 450 million EU citizens at risk. Even the EU’s own legal services admit the proposal violates fundamental rights. Germany’s Constitutional Court has already declared similar attempts at mass data retention unconstitutional. And yet, here we are again.<br/><br/>And we must not forget: who benefits. Independent research has shown strong lobbying behind Chat Control from companies and AI industry groups, eager to profit if Europeans’ communications are monitored 24/7. It’s no coincidence: more data to scan means more power and more money for those who build surveillance systems. Child protection is the new pretext, but the real driver is a billion-euro business.<br/><br/>Two key dates are around the corner:<br/>&gt; #October9: German ministers meet to decide their stance on Chat Control (Germany has a decisive influence and seems once again inclined to vote in favor).<br/>&gt; #October14: Denmark will push for a final Council vote.<br/><br/>We cannot allow Chat Control to become law. We cannot accept opaque algorithms deciding which private messages and photos get flagged or archived forever.

They were charged with “conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business” and money laundering—despite the fact that Samourai Wallet is a non-custodial Bitcoin app, meaning users always control their own funds, and the developers never have access.<br/><br/>Launched in 2015, Samourai is simply software—it doesn’t hold or transmit users’ money.<br/><br/>The charges hinge on the claim that the developers should have registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with FinCEN. However, recently surfaced legal documents show that prosecutors had consulted FinCEN before filing charges—and the agency had made it explicitly clear that Samourai did not qualify as an MSB, since it never takes custody of users’ funds.<br/><br/>Still, the Southern District of New York (SDNY) went ahead with the indictment. Internal communications even show a prosecutor acknowledging that, based on FinCEN’s guidance, Samourai would not fall under MSB rules. This came to light through a Brady letter—a required disclosure of exculpatory evidence—filed by the defense.<br/><br/>The case raises serious concerns about “regulation by prosecution,” where authorities bypass regulatory clarity in favor of criminal charges. If allowed to stand, this could set a dangerous precedent: one where developers of non-custodial software can be criminalized, even when they follow existing rules.<br/><br/>The outcome of the Samourai Wallet case could shape the future of financial privacy, open-source development, and Bitcoin fundamentals.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/6aa82bf57c0923dae43b4c29a9019821ec543d64698cb2feb1f9ed5084b6c915.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/6c3732bcf80f5191f1273b37326d15a1fc816078bed6c0f655f5bcce468df22a.png"> 2025-05-06T09:04:34Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9dh6cpl6tse99srssqvac5panatdxjmdsy8ngq4cxygqwy4h6c3gzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczcuj2xq I was never really interested in what money was—until I discovered Bitcoin. <br/><br/>Who can relate?<br/>nevent1qqs0du98mkedtm6jfepv0suyefmf0f7cta6sda8wrsc70kgmgjgkdscpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgg370w2 2025-05-04T12:55:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrfqkzymeak867egpqpnn0gwunrfthwnwezlzeq2uwxs5ncgm3gkgzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczds8xxp The most dangerous minority in the world isn’t the one demanding rights and freedoms — it’s the one regulating them. 2025-04-23T16:00:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrrlxu77cun7exqz8athj59cqevuzaf8zxfase9zfwufns27vakrqzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczw3y2cq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqp3seup9kqz8xawavqd2jff6v627s63l4xwut9hjcphdnr5r3h5gpzemhxw309ucnjv3wxymrst338qhrww3hxumnw4g4g3g'>nevent1q…4g3g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Awesome!

It means making tough choices, like leaving a prestigious yet stifling job that offered little beyond financial security. It’s about meeting people who, like me, crave change—because courage and a bit of madness make them worth knowing. Doing also means creating projects that bring the present into focus as the only time to nurture dreams. <br/><br/>Am I always happy? No, there’s still much to work on.

Even Italian Constitution specifically protects the right to freedom of expression. It states:<br/>- everyone has the right to freely express their thoughts by word, in writing, and by any other means of communication.<br/>- the press may not be subjected to any authorization or censorship.<br/>However, like in many other democracies, freedom of speech is also subject to certain limitations like protecting national security, public safety, etc. The problem is…who decides where the border is? 2024-09-06T20:02:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs88y65xxvs8kk7g26fs0z8j3l29p08qneq7v264vsewfx5mxxjwhgzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpcz0m0skd #Notion, the all-in-one platform for project management, note-taking, and personal or team organization, was forced to halt its operations in Russia due to U.S. sanctions.

This package of laws has nothing to do with ChatControl et similia and doesn&#39;t require the creation of backdoors or other tools that compromise encryption. In a nutshell the main aim here is simply to track who is using, importing, or exporting certain types of products that could be used for either civilian or military purposes (specifically, dual-use items). 2024-09-02T18:24:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspnvdg2tq99fwrecsu6vddtyk8nze5s04szvpt22e69lfc4pn63zgzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczpu2uza FYI (with reference to #Durov case and beyond):<br/>In France, the use and provision of #cryptographic tools and services are indeed subject to regulation. The relevant legal framework is primarily governed by the “Code de la défense” and the “Code monétaire et financier”.<br/><br/>Under French law, certain cryptographic tools are classified as &#34;dual-use&#34; items, meaning they have both civilian and military applications. This classification stems from historical concerns over national security and the use of strong encryption in military communications.<br/>The importation, exportation, and provision of cryptographic services in France often require prior authorization from the French authorities. Specifically, the use of cryptography for securing communications and data may require either a declaration or an authorization depending on the strength and purpose of the encryption. This is governed by the “Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d&#39;information” (ANSSI), the French National Cybersecurity Agency.<br/><br/>The use of cryptographic systems is regulated under the 1996 decree (modified in 2007) which distinguishes between cryptographic tools that require a simple declaration and those that require prior authorization. For instance:<br/>- #declaration: required for cryptographic tools with basic security measures, such as SSL/TLS for secure website communications;<br/>- #authorization: required for more advanced or military-grade cryptographic tools, where the encryption strength and the potential impact on national security are higher.<br/><br/>French regulations on cryptography are linked to the broader European Union framework on dual-use goods, which includes cryptographic technologies. Specifically, the European Dual-Use Regulation (2021/821), which is a part of the EU’s export control regime, governs the trade of dual-use items, including encryption tools, that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. 2024-09-02T04:33:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrrejnlmz5257mjfdx8xg6v3h7sakq2fhthmg4udrh357x9zlrt7gzypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczgscp5l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvu6q8gelvgtd5xn765yh053l64ghwjsmvww7hy3drh9hr6c9nsygpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet57amnr0'>nevent1q…mnr0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As I know there’s no definitive information on how exactly ChatControl might be implemented, as the regulatory process is still ongoing and the final details have not been made public. 2024-09-02T03:50:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs84eu35ng2pt4fcve3qg4vdkwxl6djyjz7du40ce4gzvfjlr4ts4czypavz0fyrupxmadltchc49ljgccy5lhlwf0kfdex9sa7zpg9vlpczmj3f5c #ChatControl is back on the agenda of EU governments.
